The Las Vegas Raiders may now be a lot closer to their next head coach than many expected.
Like many watching, Raiders fans were stunned by the Washington Commanders’ shocking upset victory over the top-seeded Detroit Lions on Saturday, defeating them 45-31.
It was the defining moment of the young Commanders’ season, and their Cinderella run through the playoff continues on to next weekend.
For the Raiders, despite not playing in this game, the outcome carries plenty of significance going forward.
The Raiders have circled both Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn as potential head coaching options.
